About Niveen
Niveen Rajabdeen is a counsellor who blends emotionally-focused work with practical strategies to help people feel less overwhelmed. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside other approaches to help clients reconnect with themselves and others. Niveen presents a calm, collaborative presence and aims to make sessions straightforward and useful.
She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, trauma and addiction concerns. Niveen also supports people facing career changes, intimacy challenges, anger, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related struggles.
Background and approach
Her practice pays attention to how emotions, relationships and behaviour interact in daily life. Her background includes seven years of clinical experience and a broader history working with counselling, psychotherapy, yoga and meditation. She holds ACA credentialing, which she uses alongside mindfulness and nervous system regulation techniques when helpful.
This mix lets her offer both short-term coping tools and longer-term relationship work. In sessions she keeps language simple and practical. Clients can expect to talk about what matters now, learn breathing and grounding strategies, and practise new ways of communicating.
Work is paced to each person’s needs and comfort. Niveen invites people who feel stuck, disconnected or worn out to explore small changes that build resilience. She aims to create a respectful space where insight leads to everyday shifts, not just theories on a page.

Online support
Emotion and action online - approaches that guide change
Niveen routinely uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand and change unhelpful patterns in relationships and personal interactions. EFT focuses on identifying core emotions, improving emotional connection and reshaping how people respond to one another. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and to clarify values that guide meaningful behaviour change.She approaches online work collaboratively. Together the client and therapist explore which approach or mix of approaches best matches goals, day-to-day challenges and personal preferences. That process usually begins in the first few sessions and can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see and react to non-verbal cues during deeper work. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief reflections, ongoing coaching and check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and to continue progress when in-person sessions are difficult.
